So, what you're telling me is that my SiS card sucks so badly that it left you speechless! ;)
How's about if I put an ATI 9600 256MB card into this machine? How would that be?
I do not own any ATI cards, but in the past, I had read there were some issues with then & Linux. What I own is a Geforce 7300 GT card, and previously a GeForce4 MX440 (if I recall well the model), and NVIDIA support has been *excellent* on both so far. MX 440 is no longer supported in the latest NVIDIA drivers, it was too old, that's why I got the 7300 GT.
I am using the latest NVIDIA drivers from ATRPMS repository:
[john@localhost download]$ rpm -qa |grep nvidia nvidia-graphics-devices-1.0-5.el5.at nvidia-graphics9755-devel-1.0_9755-86.el5.at nvidia-graphics9755-kmdl-2.6.18-8.1.1.el5-1.0_9755-86.el5.at nvidia-graphics9755-1.0_9755-86.el5.at nvidia-graphics-helpers-0.0.18-19.el5.at nvidia-graphics9755-kmdl-2.6.18-8.el5-1.0_9755-86.el5.at nvidia-graphics9755-libs-1.0_9755-86.el5.at

So myself would go for an NVIDIA instead of an ATI due to my good experience of it, but it is up to you to decide.
